This document summarizes several studies on antiplatelet therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). It discusses the optimal P2Y12 inhibitor choice for older patients based on the Gimbel et al. study, which was a randomized trial comparing clopidogrel to ticagrelor or prasugrel in patients aged 70 years or older with non-ST-elevation ACS. The trial found no significant differences in safety or efficacy outcomes between treatment groups. Modalities for switching between oral P2Y12 inhibitors are discussed, along with bleeding risks associated with ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel based on the PLATO trial. Factors favoring de-escalation of dual antiplate
